I was thinking of calling this “Friedlander-a-go-go,” believing that “Friedlander can suck it” was too antagonistic. Continue reading ‘Power Lines’
It appears that I have been lax. Not only did a tropical storm appear without a comment from me but this is the second storm of the season. What can I say, I’m kind of on vacation. Continue reading ‘Bertha’

Dennis Schornack was (is?) the the U.S. Commissioner to the International Boundary Commission. The Commission was set up to administer the border between the U.S. and Canada. Schornack was fired last year by President Bush.

I was having lunch yesterday afternoon at the Orleans Cafe and overheard the conversation of the four women next to me. They were talking about stuff that they would do for a million dollars. Nothing raunchy, more like things they would or would not eat. Someone brought up snakes. Specifically, one had seen a show on the food network or the travel channel where a cobra had been killed then served to some host. Most admitted that they would eat a cobra from a million bucks. Most, but not all of the women.
One was adamant about not eating the snake. The others were confused. I thought it might be some kind of paranoia. Nope. “A snake is the devil,” she said. “I don’t want the devil inside of me.”
